Good one, I loved the look on Bozo’s face as the Russian’s in the line all snubbed him! He appeared to be really disappointed by their unwillingness to shake his hand. Can’t say that I blame them, knowing a little about Obama, you never know where his hand might have last been.
That video is old
A handshake is to seal a deal, a sign of honor or friendship. Obama is not honorable, has no friends, and is a liar. The Russians don’t want to show that they believe him.
They won’t shake his Hand because they Don’t Respect Him!! The Russians May have been alot of things that America Don’t Believe in, but they have Honor!! They believe that The Presidents of every Country should be Faithful to their Countrymen, and they know Obama is Not!! They know him as a Liar and a Fraud, and they DO NOT respect that in any Man!!! At Least when the Russians were Communists, they Admitted it, and was Proud of that Fact!!! Obama is a Liar, and they think he is a Disgrace and a Traitor to his Country!!!
I would never shake his hand either. I may spit in his pocket but never shake his hand.
I hate to say it guys but I’m pretty sure this was correctly debunked long ago. The clip is not what it appears to be. A little research is in order here.
It wasn’t Debunked!! Only Medvedev and one other shook his hand!! The others Refused to, and 3 of them Folded their Arms to keep from Shaking his hand!! I’ve seen the Japanese, Vietnamese, and Dutch Versions of the Same Film!! Like you said, Reasearch!!!
After your hate-filled tirade a week ago I don’t accept a THING you have to say REDD. This took place in 2009 and was shot down THEN. You’re so eager to spill your hate you accept ANYTHING as Gospel. You’re more dangerous to Conservatives than to Liberals.
This is FAKE. Get over it.
You’re such an Idiot and an Undercover Obama Lover, I don’t care if you Believe me or not you Moron!! I was in hopes that you’d stuck your head in an Oven by now!!
Hey, ya got the screaming and irrational ranting down, but you’re still weak in the running about frantically waving your arms department. You need to work on that.
I HATE what Obama and the Neo-Communists are doing, idiot, but I am not going to spray HATE in every direction like you. If this was a deadly situation I would not want YOU or you unreasoning vitriol any where near me.
You HATE everything that is not YOU.
Anyone who dares to disagree with YOU is automatically an Obama lover. Is that the entire depth of your “thinking”?
That ain’t so, IDIOT and the Libs point you out as a poster boy for Conservative HATE and thus their reason to hate us all.
Oh, and you forgot to light your hair on fire for dramatic effect again. Work on it.
True he is introducing them if you notice his hand gestures and the other person reaches across to shake hands
I am sorry I respect the office of the President but I do not have to respect Obummer for the way he has treated our Country and the People, I would not shake his hand either.
vietnamvet, we always hear how we should respect the office of the presidency. The office is a “thing” Only a person can be respected because of what they have accomplished for the American people. Obama has done nothing good for anyone but himself his whole life. Does the office make the man or does the man make the office? The “office” is being used to represent evil under Obama! Everything he touches turns to evil.
I sent him a letter in 2008 and told him i would never respect him but i would respect the office
Oh I Love that so much! I really needed that! I could watch this over and over and over and still laugh. I wouldn’t want that creep to touch me either, YUCKKKKKKKKK!
oh ho ho i love it, this is so fitting, obozo, had it coming, the russians at least understand about loyalty
and obozo doesnt even have a clue…., i’d snub him too… take a hint not many like you outside the media…
WE have a mountain of legitimate reasons to trash the Neo-Commy Obama. We don’t need this stuff.

Swallowing every apparent Obama Gaff without question makes us ALL look bad and gives the Useful Idiot Lib-NeoComs ammunition against us.
Every Russian I’ve talked to said their Government Hates Obama because he’s a Traitor and Has turned on his Own Country!! They say if he’ll Turn on His Country, he’ll Turn on Anybody too!! They Don’t Trust him, they say he’s Dirty!!!
Yep. serves him right. After trying for years to be on good terms with Russia and succeeding, Obama has ruined ii in his term. Seems they are the only ones who know what he’s like. They should have spit in his face. Obama: go back to Kenya where you belong.
As much as I would like it to be true it was debunked back in 09. Sorry guys.
Those who say this is not what it seems are correct. The author ‘Daniel Noe’ needs to retract this.
Don’t let your hate blind you people, if you’re so adamant about this being what the title indicates; a snub, provide the link.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/snubbed.asp
Check it out. I don’t like Obama either but I have no use for anyone trying to deceive me like this So, Daniel Noe, your name is attached to this page, what say you?.
It’s good to see some people on this website have common sense. Like stRanger said, there are plenty of legitimate reasons to dislike Obama. Notice I said “dislike” and not “hate”. After all, he is only a Democrat, doing what Democratic presidents do. He will be gone in 4 years, dispite what some yoyo’s on this website claim.
REDD, maybe you should see someone about your rage issues.
LOL….I only Rage at Liars, Obama Lovers, and Liberals Pretending to be Conservatives to Pump Info from People!!! The Stranger Ranger is just too much of a Coward to Admit what he is!! Otherwise, I stay Quite Calm, Unless I’m Dealing with Pricks Like Him!!!
There ya go! Much better! Hair ablaze arms flailing wildly. The perfect picture of unreasoning, irrational HATE. So willing to attack anyone that ISN’T YOU.
I would NOT want to be YOU under ANY circumstances nor do I subscribe to your philosophy of HATE at any price. I am an anti-Obamunist through and through. YOU hate the entire human race because we are all not YOU.
The Muslims use extremists like YOU for human bombs. They have many of them and expend them as fast as possible just to get their irrational HATE out of their presence. Ever considered that?
Yeah, there ya go, REDD. Strap TNT all over you THEN set your hair on fire and run madly in circles. You’re a ticking time bomb anyway. I sure hope you’re not on Prozac!
Gotta go do useful things but you can hang around here and RANT if ya want. Ta-ta!
I don’t know anything about stRanger personally, but I know he has as much right as anyone to debunk a false headline. This article is a classic example of information being taken out of context. Those who insist on spreading stories like this without verifying their accuracy are only undercutting their own credability.
Well, then go and do some research like Stranger Ranger told Everybody to do, and Find out for yourself!! Try to find the Dutch Version of this Film, or the Russian Version even shows it!! I talk to Russians on a Weekly basis, I know what they think of him!! So I’m not the One that needs any Convincingof it!! He says it was Debunked in 09, but fails to tell you who Debunked it!! The Guy is an Idiot Liberal Trying to play you!! And it looks like it’s Working!!
I’m sorry, REDD, but this is a lost cause for you. The question is not whether the footage of Obama is authentic, but rather the situation surrounding the footage. The fact that you “talk to Russians on a weekly basis”, (doubtful), still does not warrant you to speak intelligently concerning the entire population’s tendancies towards foreign dignitaries. Let it go.
This is a false report. This video is when Obama and a delegation from America visited Russia. Obama is actually introducing the Americans to the Russian. We do not need to spread lies as they do not help our cause. They make us out to be idiots which does nothing but delight the liberals. I really thought Western Journalism was better at checking out their stuff than this.
stRanger and Mountain MomaMSB,
I don’t know whether the film clip is correct or not, but I would not take SNOPES word for anything. Furthermore, if this clip is Obama introducing HIS staff to the Russian, and it is HIS staff that won’t shake his hand, isn’t that even worse?
I haven’t seen this footage in its entirety since it first came out. There were multiple sources on it THEN that don’t appear on the net now. But there are two parts to this and it is much longer than what is shown now.
Sure, Snopes isn’t the best source for the TRUTH being pretty much a Liberal rubber stamp but they are RIGHT this time. If you are really interested in finding the FACTS do a web search. I’m sure you’ll come up with it.
Unfortunately there are many sources that took the out of context clips and repackaged them. This is what has resurfaced again. Despite some extremist ranting on this site I am ALL FOR getting the Lib-NeoCommies OUT of power but I am NOT willing to sell myself, my soul and my integrity to do so.
Integrity?? LOL…..It’s a little late for that!!
Awww… what’s the matter REDD? Wife and kids left you? Dog got sick of being kicked and ran away? NOBODY around to beat and abuse so you come here?
Here’s two words for you if you understand plain English at all:
GROW UP. You act like a child. Not everyone agrees with you so GET OVER IT. You’re nothing to me but a chew toy, you lead with your chin every time and frankly I’m tired of smacking you around.
Go to the Daily Kos where your real enemies are. Try Huffington too. They’ll toss you around like a Frisbee. Get engaged with the REAL opposition, IDIOT, because it isn’t HERE.
Like I told you before Stranger Ranger, you’re nothing but a Typical Computer Warrior that hasn’t got the Balls to say anything to peoples Faces, so you do it over a Computer!! I told you where to come find me the last time I talked with your Lowlife Demeaning Ass!! So if you want to talk trash to me, come do it to my face Lowlife!! And as far as Me being your “Chew Toy”, LOL…….Well, your talk don’t do much for me, nothing but a Bunch of Gum Flapping, which is all you are!!
You see, you are nothing but a Walking Trick!! I set you up, and you fall right into it!! I knew, by just listening to what you say, that you are one of those types that have time to sit around at Home,(Or in your Moms Basement) and do research on everything to try really hard to make yourself look Intelligent, and sound half way intellectual!! But actually, you are nothing but a Lowlife Liberal Worm, and a Mole that comes on here and Starts every Conversation with some kind of Little Demeaning Remark about everything you comment on!! Then, you go out of your way to Try and Talk Down to People to make yourself Feel Better!!
You need to Consider going out into the Sunshine, getting some fresh Air, AND A JOB!! I bet you sit around and Draw some kind of “Disability” Don’t you?? You can’t have a Job, because you spend too much time on the Computer!! Unless it’s some kind of Part Time Gig at a McDonalds or Taking Money at a Self-Serve Gas Station!! LOL…….I can’t believe you actually had time to go look all that up, and Inquire to the Western Journalism Folks to Try and Prove yourself Right!!!! LOL…….You really Don’t have any kind of Life, Do You?? And you think I’M The Idiot!!!! LOL……LOL……You are a Laughable Clown!!! It’s Really Unbelievable How Utterly Ignorant you Are!!! I bet Life Plays you like a Fiddle, Doesn’t It??
Your Stupid Leftwing Mind Games Might work on the Lesser Intelligent in here!! But There are Several on here that know Who, and What you are!! Because they see right through you, Just like I can!! Do you think that you’re the Only one Out there in Blogger land that Acts Conservative, but has the Leftwing Narrative!! You Idiots are Transparent as Glass!! And what’s so Damn Funny about it, is you think you’re actually Pulling it Off!!!
You’re a Joke!! A Walking Trick!! An Undercover Obama Zombie, but with no Interest in Brains!!!! And whenever you acquire an I.Q. than surpasses your Shoe Size, try and have a Logical Conversation with People!! But I don’t See that happening in the Foreseeable Future!!! LOL…….LOL…….
I let people here in the Office Read and See what you Write, and they Laugh at the Way I can Play you so Easily!! LOL……Our Office manager said that we have 9 Bathrooms that need to be Cleaned, and wantys to knowq if you want to make 50 bucks!!! LOL……I told him you probably wouldn’t be very Good at that either!!! You’re such a Worthless Worm!!!!!
Read the Editors note at the top of the page, buffoon. You are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. And you can’t stand being WRONG, WRONG, WRONG so you invent an “enemy” to attack and direct your juvenile anger at.
Sorry, pal, but you are a pretender of very low-intelligence who cannot define who their real enemy is. That definition fits LIBERALS and it is you that is acting the disruptive part.
Get a life, REDD, GROW UP. You are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG and your child-like mind cannot deal with that without you stamping your feet and pitching a hissy fit.
Anger over the term “Ruskies”? LOL, that’s LAUGHABLE! Is there anything in your world that DOESN’T drive you into a monumental rage? You need help with your anger issues before you blow up and cross the line and we are reading about YOU running amok with a loaded gun.
Here’s some news for you, the Liberals LOVE push-overs like you. They seek you out and work you over till you blow up. Then they point at YOU as an example of Extremist Right Wing Rage.
YOU attacked me and you got slapped down for it and if I can hit your Blow-Up-Button the Libs can do it with ease.
Do us ALL a favor, take your immature RAVINGS to Kos or Huffy and battle your REAL enemies, FOOL.
LOL…..You just Thrive and let your Life Revolve around being RIGHT, Don’t Cha Stranger Ranger?? LOL….I tell You What, I’ll make a Deal with you!! I’ll GROW UP, if You go out and and get you a JOB and a LIFE, You LIBERAL Limp Fk!!!! Go out with your Boyfriend tonite, and talk to him about getting you a Job in the Hair Salon with Him!!!! Or we still have these 9 Restrooms up here you can Clean for that 50 bucks, if you want to do that!!! Just do Something besides Living on the Computer trying to Prove to everybody that you are Somewhat Intelligent with your Halfwit Rhetoric!!! Go ahead Stranger Ranger, Do something and Surprise your Mommy And Daddy this Month with some Rent Money or Grocery Money!! Because you’ve Probably already Spent all your Welfare Check on Alcohol and Cigarettes!! And you need to Brush Up on your “I’M A CONSERVATIVE” Act!! Because it is Lame as You Are!!!
REDD, here’s the bottom line then from now on I ignore you as you deserve.l YOU ARE A LIAR.
YOU ARE A LIAR. YOU ARE A LIAR. YOU ARE A LIAR.
I can prove my political affiliation and state categorically that I have NOT voted Democrat since the early 1970s. Oh, and to help you understand that better I’ll do the math for you – that was 40 years ago.
YOU, HOWEVER, ARE A LIAR. Get used to it IDIOT. I am a Conservative, NOT a Republican and I am FAR from being a Liberal.
I meant it. Did your family and dog run away to get away from your hostile, abusive conduct? So you come here, set up a “strawman” enemy and take your JUVENILE, IDIOTIC, LYING anger out on someone you’ve never met?
You’re conduct is IRRATIONAL and over the line into insanity! GET HELP, FOOL before you lose it and kill someone who doesn’t kiss your azz by agreeing with everything that slobbers out of your drooling mouth.
You have been told by several other posters that your commentary is just plain WRONG yet you continue to try to demean me alone with a barrage of unreasoning HATE. THAT is another sign of MENTAL ILLNESS. Abusively OBSESSING over details to the detriment of everyone around you and that is a Liberal trait! Why haven’t you returned negative comments to OTHER posters? You’re OBSESSING that’s why. Ahab would understand your twisted thinking as he had the same problem and ultimately took everyone around him down with him save one.
GET HELP AND DO IT NOW.
Goodbye, REDD. From now on your sick, flaming rage will be as useful as swinging at air because I am ignoring your foolish, juvenile, irrational shrieking from this moment on. But you go right ahead with your Liberal diatribe because it is really quite entertaining to watch you run in circles waving your arms and screaming.
LOL…..Sounds like you’re the only one Shreiking Stranger Ranger!!! You sound Pissed!! Are ya All Pissy because somebody has got your Number?? Not so Intelligent after all, are you there!!!! LOL……And as far as ME, being an Idiot!! Not Likely you Moron!!!! Go get yourself a Job and a Life Pixey Boy!!!
AZ Ike, now that’s a darn good point.
I searched through all my saved files on disc and must have deleted this one way back. It took place 4 years ago and was shot down even then. Obama is not attempting to shake hands he is indicating which staffer he is introducing. This was at the height of his popularity remember? The Ruskies were eager to get in good with him. And recall too, the first thing Obama did after the last election was hop aboard AF One and fly to Moscow to schmooze with Putin. Why? Because they don’t trust him? Can’t work with him?
Look. NOBODY wants this usurper gone from office more than I do. But there is a wealth of actual mis-conduct to point to and we do NOT need this shake and bake stuff that does nothing but divert attention and energy away from the real thing. Hanging our hats on this kind of thing does nothing but give the Libiots ammunition against us.
This is a bogus video that was doctored up YEARS AGO now and has been picked up all over the world and flung around as genuine.. Drop it and get on with the REAL Obama and his REAL destructive agenda.
Ruskies??? You Lowlife, Demeaning P.O.S.!!!! The Russians have more Dignity, more Pride than you will ever have in your Miserable Life!! To call them Ruskies is Really Simple Minded, you Liberal Lowlife Dweeb!!!!
They, the Ruskies & Obumble, are two peas in a pod, the only difference is that the Russians are much smarter than than this puppet.
First of All!! Obama and the RUSSIANS, are Nothing Alike!! You only know what you read and see in the Liberal Media!! The Russians are Like the Mexicans, they are Proud People, no different than you or I!! But they have lived under a Communist Party for so many Years, they know no other Life than what they have!! Nor do they have a Choice in that Life!! Kind of like what Our Lives will be Like in a Few Short years!! Every Russian you’re allowed to talk to, Warns Americans what is Coming, But Nobody Listens to them!! People here only listen to the Media, that works for the Administrations in Washington!! Calling them “Ruskies” is Demeaning, and most people here in this Country are just One or Two Paychecks away from being the same Class of People as they Are!! And when it Gets to that Point, what do you think the World Will Call US?? They will call us Stupid and Ignorant, because we let Our Government put us in this Position!! All the Former Communist Countries have been Warning us For over 40 Years now, but we never Listen because we don’t believe it could ever Happen to Us, Because We’re AMERICANS!!!
REDD, who made you the mouthpiece of the Russian people? So you are claiming that Russians can see what is happening in this country because it mirrors what happened in the Soviet Union? Aside from the fact that Russia has been a Democracy for over 20 years now (albeit not a very good one), just being a Russian does not make one an expert on Communism. After all, how many people here are experts on Democracy? I live next door to a guy who was raised in Russia, and he voted for Obama, twice. Maybe he’s the only one you forgot about.
As to your claim that “all the former communist countries have been warning us for over 40 years now”, where exactly did you get that information? Do you have your finger on the pulse of every former Communist on the planet? That’s some trick. What you fail to realize, REDD, is that many of your comments never make it past a reader’s first and most important filter, common sense.
I have no doubt you have the ability to make a good arguement, but you squander that opportunity by continually posting unverifiable nonsense. It’s okay to post your opinions. That’s why we’re all here. However, if you are attempting to prove a point or persuade someone to your way of thinking, you cannot claim your opinions as factual evidence. Tone down the anger.
Well First of All Wise Ass, My Wife is Russian!!!!!! And My Mother-In-Law and Father-In-Law and 2 Sister-In-Laws Still Live in Russia!!!!! I fly over there 2 or 3 Times a Year, and Have alot of Friends there!!!! I tell you what you Do Wise Ass, Go out and Find you a Russian, the Same Size and Age as you are, and Call him a Ruskie to his Face, and see how Fast you get your Ass Whipped!!!!! Those People have Worked, and Worked Hard their Whole Life, and have never Lived in a White Bread and Sponge Cake Life Like Most Americans Have, and they Don’t Play Nice!!! So until you get the Cajones to Do that, Watch your Mouth about talking about a People YOU Know nothing about!!!!
I’m sorry, REDD, did you have a point? I have no doubt the average Russian has endured more hardship than the average American. If a Russian told me the term “Ruskie” was offensive, I would take their word for it. What does that have to do with this conversation? Aside from the fact that you cannot form a tangible arguement, you obviously have a lot of teenage angst. The article written above is false, and I believe you’re the only one here now still refusing to admit that. Do you have anything intelligent to say, or just more insults?
Nothing But Insults for a Lowlife like you, Fk Stick!!!
Thank you for proving my point.
NO PROBLEM!!!! Glad I could Help Fk Stick!!!
Seems like more and more BS stories are being presented. Do you think maybe sponser support is more important than waiting till there is something possitive to report? Theres a FaceBook “like” web site called Tea Party Community. Look for it and join up. We need to begin to organize!!!
Will everybody PLEASE read this. It is from the Editors of Western Center acknowledging that the video is BOGUS. This is NOT me talking, it is Western Center. Western Center, REDD, get it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~The End~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOW GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON.
Not in defense of Obama… but if he was the one intruducing them guys to the Americans’…. probably he was just pointing out to the american standing by him.. “This is Vladimer Korzon” and he wasn’t supposed to shake their hands. Dunno… but from what I read… Putin is ‘gay’ as well… remember those photos of him on horseback SHIRTLESS showing off his biceps to the photographer below. Eat your heart out Obama…. !!!
I would only shake hands with him directly after visiting the bathroom and discovering a lack of toilet tissue in the stall
